Peace in the Everafter
Our mother never really had peace here on earth. She was a very meek woman and did not have much self-esteem. She was married at 16 and that did not work out. She had a car accident that caused her to have seizures the rest of her life. She married the 2ND time only to be widowed at age 37. She was diagnosed in 1989 with emphysema and died in 1996. There was a good bit of heartache in my mother's short life but there is good news. She got saved before she died when she finally understood the love of God not the wrath. So now she walks on streets of gold with plenty of unlabored breathes. Her only focus is her loving God that will never disappoint her or leave her. No disease, and she gets to share Jesus with the family that has gone on before her. She never felt worthy here on earth but none of us are worthy, but the good news is Jesus opens the doors to Heaven and says, "Come in Bonnie, what took you so long?" So my brother and I said to her on the day her soul left her earthy, broken, fragile body. Finally Mother," you rest in peace."
